They say nothing feels better than when you lend a hand and help others.

We at The Daily Eastern News are in total agreement with this statement.

When you take time out of your life to do some kind of service work, you are not only doing a good deed, but you are also making an impact on so many other people.

Throughout the world, there are so many things that you can do to make someone’s day just a little better.

Why not stop at the local food pantry and see if they need volunteers for an evening or two?

Volunteering not only looks good on a resume, but you are demonstrating character and kindness.

You can also just do the little things, such as picking up trash in the street.

This may sound very blaise and not like something that would change someone’s life, but you are still doing a good deed.

There are times that we often feel like we have enough going on in our own lives, and therefore we cannot find the time to volunteer for others.

This can be true to an extent, but it can also be a downright excuse.

Get out there and search for different activities.

Charleston alone has several things that you can do for service work.

Head to a local animal shelter and see if they may need someone to volunteer for an afternoon to clean up or help take care of the animals.

All of this may sound redundant, but everyone should realize that as stressful and busy as we may get at times, we always have some time to do good unto others.

And if anyone thinks they are too good to help others, you really should reevaluate your life.

No matter how rich, successful or popular you may be, you are never too good to lend a helping hand to others.

We should all take time out each week to see what we can do to make the world a little bit better than it already is.

Get out there and put some time and effort, and we promise that you will feel better about yourself and feel much more accomplished.
